J.P. Nelson - 2014
    Later, the builders of Xibalba called it, Xn’Csero, meaning the 3rd World. But the youth who calls himself Timber Wolf doesn’t care.

Over the years he learned to hate, but there was something more; something, some kind of power from his lost, forgotten elvin ancestry was growing inside. But why? Did it have anything to do with the strange weather patterns, awakening volcanoes, tidal waves and part of a continent falling into the sea? Magic was a dying practice, his mother was last of the Elvin Tell-Singers, there were no more Druids, and Kn’Yang, the youth’s great-great-grandfather had been last of the Gahjurahnge Warriors … or was he? The word was, religious leaders around the known world were moving toward the Kohntia Mountains in belief an upcoming stellar phenomenon would transform one individual into godhood. But in the overall scheme of things, why should the youth care? Besides, what difference can one person make?
